![]() This manga brought up something interesting when I was originally looking into it, which is that no one could figure out the genre. Basically, whoever makes the most boys fall in love with them wins. In order to become queen, they must travel to the human world to collect hearts, as human affection powers magic. Sugar Sugar Rune is the story of two witches, the firey Chocolat and shy Vanilla, who are competing to become queen of the magic realm, but are also best friends. The plotting and worldbuilding flounder at the end, but if you like shoujo or have a girl who you think would be into manga, this is an excellent starting point. It’s also something of a reverse-harem setup, which is extremely rare. ![]() SSR is big on critiquing femininity but manages to do so without throwing women under the bus, which is really great. Sugar Sugar Rune is her shoujo series, and while not anywhere near as serious as works like Sakuran and In Clothes Called Fat, it has the kind of messages I’d expect from her having read her josei works. Anno Moyoco has quickly become one of my favorite mangaka. ![]()
